Hi,

took my US Coast Guard 44ft model (1:20 from Billing Boats kit) to local lake. Very fun, except one dead esc ;)

Excellent photo's & excellent build !!! I've made a couple of these myself, a nice kit to build.  Very well done indeed.   Did she take on much water after those heavy seas ? All the best Dan.

Excellent pics. I recently took my sons cabin cruiser in the sea at perranporth, in the breaking waves and got a similar effect.
